/>The Maine Learning Technology Initiative has 30,000 iBooks that the state has mostly paid off, and they are looking
to get rid of them. That’s why they are
selling them to the schools that they are in for $8 a pop (that’s the difference in what the state has paid and what is
left over). Now, keep in mind that these iBooks have been in the hands of schoolchildren for 4 years

so they are
probably not in the best of shape (in general), but that is still a pretty good deal.

Luckily they aren’t
giving the public a chance to snag any, so there won’t be any href="http://www.tuaw.com/2005/08/16/50-ibooks-cause-stampede/">stampedes that day around.
